Asm Health Checker Found 1 New Failures Upd Jun 2026
Communication loss across Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) nodes can provoke a dirty detach from the cluster lock domain.
When the checker encounters an anomaly, it registers a "failure" within the Oracle Cluster Health Advisor (CHA) or the Grid Infrastructure alert logs. The generic notification "found 1 new failures" acts as an umbrella warning, requiring manual inspection to uncover the exact root cause. Step 1: Locating the Failure Details
An automated rotation cycle failed, leaving the secret in a broken state or causing a mismatch with the target database. Step-by-Step Diagnostic Framework
The first step is to determine precisely which disk group or component is affected. You can do this by querying Oracle's V$HM_RUN view to review the health check report. asm health checker found 1 new failures

Disk group redundancy failures (e.g., if a disk fails in a normal redundancy group, it checks if the partner mirror is healthy).
Sometimes, the alert is triggered not by a real failure but by a bug. For example, users of CloudLinux with CageFS enabled reported false-positive health check warnings on cPanel v134 and newer. In this case, the solution was to wait for a patch (e.g., cagefs-7.6.31-1 ) or update your software. Step 1: Locating the Failure Details An automated
Loss of physical fiber channel paths, faulty host bus adapters (HBAs), or incorrect multipathing layers ( multipathd ) will drop the physical storage paths. ASM detects this loss of communication as a failed disk heartbeat. 3. Disk Header Mutilation
This is the most frequent partner error. If the storage layer loses connectivity to a device for even a few seconds, Oracle ASM may drop the disk or force a complete dismount of the disk group to protect against data corruption. In your log, it will typically look like this:

ASM Health Checker detected one new failure in your environment. This post explains what that means, likely causes, immediate checks you should run, step-by-step troubleshooting, and recommended fixes to restore full health.
